Being limited on space on my motorcycle adventures in the backcountry, this was the perfect size. Thank you Bare Boxer for getting this right!

Love this canister and I made my own key for 82¢ that's with tax. Only tools used were a hacksaw and a metal file. It took me about 10 minutes. The blank key was bought at a local hardware, you have your choice of designs and colors. Mark your pattern with a sharpie. For reference I'm a 73 year old woman so if I can do it.......

The locking mechanism is actually much easier than I expected, and it's quite light for this type of bear resistant product.

I've had a Bare Boxer cannister for years and used it very successfully. My recent purchase of a second one is a gift for my daughter. I like that you now if provide a key.

Just purchased recently and got the chance to use it on a backpacking trip in New York state. The locks were simple to operate with the flat head screwdriver in my multi-tool. House keys or a knife would've worked too. The container was a good capacity for two people for 1 night, and definitely could fit more if we packed lighter and more efficiently. The material feels sturdy and secure and doesn't add an excessive amount of weight to my pack.

Perfect for an overnight with my cooking gear inside, or a long weekend with my stove and pot separate. Glad to have it in the central high peaks where my other canister is questionable.

For one person over a long weekend this is the perfect sized bear canister. Operates well and simply. Time will tell if it holds off the critters!

Nice size for 2-3 days and I don’t pack real well. Good weight. Fits in pack well. Had considered another can that is crazy priced. Glad I did this one.

My first canister for short trips. Was able to get enough food in it for three days with no problem. If I put my mind to it I'm sure I could do another days worth.. No problem opening with the included key or the flathead screwdriver on one on Swiss Army knives. Ver happy with the purchase.

Looks good, functions well. Haven't had chance to use it. May come back once it has been in use.

This canister is absolutely perfect for solo hikers! Many other options are designed for 2-3 people and are therefore big and heavier. This is compact and fairly lightweight and easily carries 3 days of food and my toiletries. I could probably put 4 days of food in there if I was willing to cook breakfast and eat oatmeal. I did add a bunch of reflective tape to help find it in the dark. And found an old key in the junk drawer that works perfect for the lid. Can’t give it enough praises.

I tried a similar box that was much larger (didn't fit inside the Osprey 50, so I had to secure it under the brain horizontally). Unlike other designs where the bear can get their claws under a twist-off lid, this one seems more bear-proof. It is very lightweight, and will fit either inside vertically or under the brain horizontally. YAY! I don't mind repacking freeze dried foods (or making my own dehydrated foods), so I'll be able to fit 4 nights in it (plus any toiletries that bears might mistake for food). A small key was added (although any key or small flat head screwdriver would work), and I think I'll be able to open it in the dark if needed - as long as I turn all three locks each time (not 2 or 1). Thank you for sending it out so quickly, even with the 4th of July holiday! I am looking forward to using it on my next trip.

Easy to get in and out of Mariposa lightweight pack. Easily fit 4 freeze dried meals, oatmeal, bars, beef jerky and some toiletries. Ideal weekender.

It works for me. Enough space for 3 days of food & some storage space. Love that it’s so small.

Easy to use, lightweight and compact. Perfect for short (2-3 day) trips. The latches can be a bit stiff, but a spritz of dry film lubricant makes them glide like butter.
